We're changing diagnosis, so she can change the world.
DotLabTM advances endometriosis research through molecular science, computational methods, and clinical studies.
but an endometriosis diagnosis can take an average of a decade. That’s because painful periods have been normalized for far too long and there aren’t enough tools to catch the disease early2.
Our research explores novel biomarkers associated with endometriosis. We work to build the evidence needed to understand their potential applications.
DotEndo
Advanced
DotEndo measures novel biomarkers and applies AI to identify endometriosis.
Non-Invasive
DotEndo is a unique, non-invasive test that is intended to expand the set of much-needed tools for endometriosis.
Actionable
We aim to help provide answers earlier in order to speed up the diagnostic journey.
Clarifying
DotEndo may help identify endometriosis as a cause for those 25-50% of patients who experience unexplained infertility3.
Without a test, the path to getting diagnosed can be a very long one. Today, the average delay in diagnosis is ten years and involves many changes in doctors. Get diagnosed earlier so you can get the care you need!

At age 27, I underwent surgery to finally receive an endometriosis diagnosis, but I suffered from the disease for many years before that.
Julia, real patient
When I had my first surgery and official diagnosis of endo, it was a relief and validated my pain… but it shouldn’t have taken 6 doctors to believe me in the first place. Most endo warrior stories I hear have women waiting until their 30’s or 40’s for diagnosis. That. Is. Not. Ok.
